Event Location

BioImage Informatics 2019 will be held at the Allen Institute, a 270,000-square-foot life sciences building, located at the northwest corner of Mercer St. and Westlake Ave. North in the South Lake Union neighborhood of Seattle. The building is purpose-built for life science research and facilitates our trademark team science approach amid abundant natural light and with stunning views of Seattle.

Conference Hotels

The Allen Institute has contracted with three local hotels for discounted rates for BioImage Informatics attendees during the event. All hotels are within 5 minutes walking distance of the Institute. The booking deadline for these hotels is September 2, 2019, after which rates will no longer be guaranteed.

Please note that the hotel guest floors will be under construction during the event. Construction will take place during business hours, 9am-5pm, Monday-Friday. There shouldn't be construction noise in the evenings, but there may be dust or other disruptions.
